“Dr. A. J. Innes. Advice has been received by cable of the sudden death of Dr. Albert J. Innes, in Edinburgh, on March 11, from pneumonia. He was the eldest son of Mr. and Mrs. J. L. Innes, of this city. After qualifying as a chemist, he went to Edinburgh University to study medicine about two years before the war broke out. On volunteering his services he received a commission as lieutenant in the R.A.M.C. After a year's service in England, where he had charge of Red Cross transports, he was allowed to return to Edinburgh to continue his medical studies. His last appointment was house surgeon in Stirling Royal Infirmary. He specialised in surgery, and gave promise of a brilliant medical career. His many friends will be grieved to learn of his early demise at 28 years of age. Much sympathy felt with his parents in their bereavement.” [Source: Auckland Star, Volume LI, Issue 66, 17 March 1920, p7]
